Abstract: The Streams of Long Island presentation will compare and contrast the four main types of streams on Long Island (normal, tunnel valley, outwash channel, and glacial dry valley) and the geological processes that created them, compare and contrast the impact of groundwater extraction on streams, ponds, and lakes in Nassau vs. Suffolk counties, and explain the ecological impacts of development on Long Island streams.
